"approximately 30 million teenagers and children who participate in some form of organized sport."
The study of how to prevent injuries during physical activity, and how to properly recover from injuries once they occur.
Anatomy and Physiology: Understanding the human body and its functions is crucial to determining how to prevent and rehabilitate injuries.
Biomechanics: Examining the way our bodies move and the forces that affect them is important in identifying potential injury risks and finding ways to prevent them.
Sport Psychology: Mental health plays a significant role in injury prevention and rehabilitation, as athletes and patients need to be motivated to take necessary steps for recovery and future prevention.
Physical Therapy: A healthcare profession focused on the prevention and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries and disabilities.
Strength and Conditioning: Building strength and conditioning in the body can help prevent injuries and improve rehabilitation outcomes.
Nutrition: Proper nutrition is essential for injury prevention and rehabilitation, as it can affect the body's ability to heal itself.
Cross-Training: Engaging in multiple types of physical activity can help prevent overuse injuries and improve overall athleticism.
Injury Assessment and Diagnosis: Properly identifying and diagnosing injuries is the first step in creating an effective prevention and rehabilitation plan.
Prehabilitation: Preventative measures taken before an injury may occur, such as improving flexibility and joint mobility or strengthening supporting muscles, in order to reduce the risk of injury.
Rehabilitation Exercises: Exercises and techniques designed to help injured individuals regain strength, flexibility, and function.
Stretching and warm-up: Stretching and warming up the body before any vigorous activity can reduce the risk of injuries such as muscle strains, sprains, and tears.
Strength Training: Regular strength training can help build stronger muscles and bones, reduce the risk of falls, and prevent injuries.
Balance Training: Balance training is essential to prevent falls and is especially important for older adults.
Proper Footwear: Wearing proper footwear can prevent many lower limb injuries and give the necessary support for body stability.
Compression Garments: Compression garments can aid in recovery by increasing circulation, reducing swelling and providing support.
Physical Therapy: Physical therapy is an effective way to prevent and/or rehabilitate injuries by engaging in exercises that promote strength, flexibility, movement, and balance.
Massage therapy: Massage therapy can help reduce muscle tension, increase blood flow, enhance flexibility and promote relaxation.
Chiropractic Care: Chiropractic care involves the adjustment of the spine and joints in order to promote proper alignment and prevent injuries.
Acupuncture: Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that uses needles to stimulate certain points in the body to promote healing.
Ergonomic Assessment: Ergonomic assessments can be conducted to help identify potential hazards in the workplace and promote better posture and movement.
Injury education and awareness: Education and awareness of the risks and prevention of certain injuries can prevent injuries from occurring.
Nutrition and hydration: Proper nutrition and hydration can aid in injury prevention and help accelerate healing during rehabilitation.
Rest and Recovery: Rest and recovery are essential for injury rehabilitation, allowing the body to heal and the injury to recover.
Surgery and Medications: In some cases, surgery and medications are necessary to treat injuries that cannot heal on their own.
"about three million athletes age 14 years and under experience a sports injury annually."
"21 percent of the injuries observed in elite college athletes caused the athlete to miss at least one day of sport."
"approximately 77 percent of these injuries involved the knee, lower leg, ankle, or foot."
"traumatic head or neck occurrences."

"season analysis reviews, preseason screenings, and pre-participation examinations."
"the functional movement screen."
"to find players who are at risk of certain injuries."
"prevention for adolescent athletes should be considered and may need to be applied differently than adult athletes."
"levels of anxiety, stress, and depression are elevated when an athlete experiences an injury."
"depending on the type and severity of the injury." Note: Since the paragraph does not contain explicit quotes for some questions, I have provided explanations based on the information presented.
